PLEASE READ,,should i just use it?
basically ive been in therapy for about 2 years. My parents got divorced and im 14. i dont take medication. therapy has helped me alot. it was not just the divorce, becasue i wanted them to get divorce, but it was the way it went down. i basically got in the middle. and i find now im really awkward and lazy and tired around my friends. but when i go to parties and get dressed up and stuff and have coke (like coka cola) i feel really hyper and confident. and i was always confident and tough and now im like the opposite. having confidence is the main thing for me to regain. i know its in me, but im scared, or intimied by my peers. its ironic because thats how i used to make other girls or people feel around me becase i was so popular and confident. So i try to take B12 and multivitamins everyday. Usually when i take B12 i dont have more energy but am able to stay awake longer or less sleepy. but when im energetic at parites or something im really confident and will go up dance, because i like to dance. so shouldn't i just drink caffeine like coke or mtn dew or something all the time? because that brings me out me. obviously before i didnt need it because i was already like that alone.at parties i feel great. and no...im not taking drugs or smoking or anything like that. srtictly, caffeine. and i know techinically..caffeine is a drug..? but you know what i mean. but the problem is my mom doesnt buy unhealthy food or drinks like coke or mtn dew! please write in response..thanks!<3

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
No. You should not drink sugary sodas all the time.
The first reason is that this would be horrible for your health and would create a false sense of happiness you might come to rely on in lieu of finishing the hard work you've started in therapy...
The reason that you might find more convincing is that it wont work in the long run.
Your body will adapt to what you give it, and it will take more and more soda to get the rush you feel at parties now. Like any drug, you build up a tolerance for it, and become dependent on it. You'll feel ill and irritable when you don't get your 'fix' of it.
The truth is, as much as the sugar and caffeine are certainly affecting you - it's also a bit in your head. You are at party and you want to be that person you were - the sugar is a tool and an excuse. It's something you use to give yourself permission.
Most people who get drunk are not NEARLY as drunk as they appear to be. They are using the substance to give themselves permission to 'act drunk'. There is definitely a bit of that going on with you right now too.
You probably don't need soda - even at parties. You definitely don't need every day as mood enhancer. It wont work that way for long anyways, and some of the benefits you experience now are probably psychosomatic (created by your belief that soda makes you hyper, not by the soda actually making you hyper).
